First Autumnal Sunset

Delaware, Road Trip, States

IMG_3011.JPG
We are in Delaware! Camped at Lums Pond State Park near Bear, DE. We pulled into this lovely park late this afternoon in time to do a little hiking. Lums Pond is the largest freshwater lake in the state, created in the early 1800’s by damming St. Georges Creek to power a sawmill and to fill the locks of the nearby Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. For dinner we heated up leftovers for crab omelet sandwiches and discovered that cocktail sauce is great with crab omelet! Then around sunset we headed out for another short hike. We found two nearby caches by flashlight! This first day of Autumn is the best day we’ve had on or Fitbits in a while, we’ve walked nearly seven miles today!

OUR VERY

LATEST

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
